Fiordland cruising day cancelled

[dazadelaide]

Just received an e-mail from P&O saying our day cruising through fiordland in New Zealand next week has been cancelled.

Has this happend to any other P&O cruises recently?

I know  N,Z. has stopped other lines because of bio hazards on their hulls, but the Explorer had their hull cleaned last month supposedly.

Just got another email about hull bio hazards. The hull needs a new partial clean before we are allowed into NZ, anywhere in NZ it seems. The clean is hoped to occur during our transit from Adelaide to NZ, weather permitting. If it can't be done there will be an announcement during the cruise of further changes to the itinerary. We may end up having an Aussie port only cruise or an all sea days cruise. We can, if we wish, cancel now and get 100% credit.

 

We will be riding this wave of uncertainty and see where it takes us.
